How to Make Pasta Noodles

There is nothing more wonderful than serving homemade pasta noodles along with your favorite meal. The light and chewy texture of a pasta noodle made from scratch are far superior to the dry storebought variety. Once you try this quick and easy recipe, you may never go back.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 4 cups of all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tbsp. of salt
• 4 eggs
• 5 tbsp. of water
• Large mixing bowl
• Rolling pin
• Clean kitchen towel
• Pasta maker
• Lightly floured surface

1. In a large mixing bowl, add together the recipe contents. The eggs should be added as the last ingredient.

2. With clean hands, blend the ingredients together, kneading until the dough becomes elastic.

3. While still in the bowl, form a ball with the dough and cover with a towel. The dough ball should set for about a half hour.

4. Roll the dough out with your rolling pin on a lightly floured surface. Aftrer, cut the dough into sections that will fit best through the pasta maker.

5. Depending on the pasta maker, you can create whatever size and type of noodles you prefer. Different attachments and settings will produce a different type of noodle. Thinner noodles may require a second trip through the pasta maker.

6. Allow pasta to completely dry out. After this, you can store it or cook it. Boiling time is about half the time of regular store bought noodles.

Tips & Warnings

• If dough becomes too sticky to work with, you can add a sprinkle of flour, here and there.
• Do not overwork the dough when kneading. The pasta will become tough in texture.
• Do not rush through the pasta making. Dough needs time to rest and decreasing your prep time can potentially ruin the pasta noodles.
